On Sunday night, the basketball viewing public got another chance to see the unique talent that is Rajon Rondo in all his glory. Short of turning into Jesus Shuttlesworth and draining eight 3-pointers, Rondo is clearly the catalyst* for the Boston Celtics in their pursuit of their 2nd NBA Championship in 3 yrs.
Rondo has dazzled [...]

A couple weeks ago before the NBA Playoffs started… wait, make that a couple months ago – I lamented the Boston Celtics for looking old and their time having run out.
They were losing home games and generally didn’t look like they had it all together to get anywhere in the playoffs. To be honest, I [...]

The Boston Celtics are on the verge of knocking the Cleveland Cavaliers out of the 2009-10 NBA Playoffs, despite Cleveland being the early favorite to win the NBA Championship.

Huge, huge, huge game winning shot by Glen Davis of the Boston Celtics Sunday night to even the playoff series at 2 games apiece.
Glen Davis Winning Shot – 5/10/09 vs. Orlando Magic
In a game the Celtics appeared to have a leg up throughout, the Magic made a comeback late and even took the lead w/ [...]

Although not unseen in past 1st round NBA playoff series, a few players and teams this year are scrapping it up a little earlier than might be expected.  Not only are the games pretty physical, but they have also been extremely competitive and entertaining (btw… I know they aren’t as physical as the 80’s).
Most of [...]

Saturday afternoon turned out quite well for the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Not only did they easily handle the Detroit Pistons at home, but the Boston Celtics lost their first game to the Chicago Bulls (in Boston).  Cleveland has homecourt throughout the playoffs, but the road to the championship still goes through the Celtics, because they are [...]

This season, the NBA’s Eastern Conference has dominated national headlines in newspapers and on the Internet.  This is quite the opposite of how the former “L”Eastern Conference was looked upon even just a couple years ago.  The NBA’s elite are no longer strictly in the Western Conference, as 3 of the top 4 teams in [...]

The game was a total blowout – Celtics win 131-92 over the Lakers in Game 6. Boston wins it’s 17th NBA Championship and Paul Pierce is named the 2008 NBA Finals MVP.

Of course, you can find a full selection of 2008 [...]

The Boston Celtics served notice on Thursday that they intend to defend their regular season record and compete for another NBA Championship.
Facing the L.A. Lakers in an epic Game 1, things looked bad for the Celtics in the 3rd quarter when Paul Pierce had to be helped off the court by teammates.  As the Lakers [...]

The Boston Celtics acquired superstar Kevin Garnett in the hopes that he could help resurrect their team and bring it back to respectability.  With his worth ethic and strong determination to win, getting Garnett was a no-brainer for GM Danny Ainge.
After leading the Celtics to the NBA’s best single season turnaround this year and making Boston one [...]

With a strong tradition of winning, the Boston Celtics have been looking to return to the NBA’s elite the last few years.  Unfortunately, the moves made by GM Danny Ainge have been less than stellar – that is, until this past summer. 
Ainge orchestrated two mind-blowing trades that now have the Celtics perched atop the league [...]
